I don't have an element but I use floats for water level in my HLT and MLT. High/low in the HLT and high in the MLT all using DINs in the BCS.

Re: BCS-460 IP not working for login

Re: Where is the reset button?

I feel like I had the same problem with my BCS462 after I updated the firmware. I couldn't find it with the finder tool or looking at the DHCP table on my router and the reset switch wasn't changing anything. I left my unplugged overnight and most of the next day and when I plugged it in (connected ...
